Welcome the disassociation station. Trains leave all the time. You never see them leave though. Which is weird. How long have we been standing here?

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

If you like porn, you owe performers the bare fucking minimum of supporting their human right to self determination and listening to their self advocacy.
if you think we don't have our own voices and need to be saved, you aren't looking hard enough.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.
Remember their goal is to terrorize us. And social media is a fantastic way to spread terror. We don’t have to help them.
Based on the vibes of my timeline today I’m feeling like the next two weeks are probably gonna be a really good time to reduce social media use as much as possible. Because YIKES.

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.
In 2024 more women were attacked by another woman in a public restroom than by a trans woman.
In fact I don't think any were attacked by a trans woman.

As an extra bitch with a writing degree, it is very fitting that Glamour and Grammar used to be the same word, signifying anything mystifying or unknown, be it language or spellcraft.
It is also fitting, because grammar is confusing as shit, and so is my face if you ask straight men.
